Xperia 5: The Truth
Prior to purchasing an Xperia 5, I read and watched many, many reviews of this phone. To be generous, I can only say that nearly all were based upon an alternative set of facts. This phone is the best I have used and has performed perfect in all areas. In particular,
fingerprint sensor: It never misses!! It is thin and you must depress it in the same manner in which you set it up. So, if it is missing, then just reset it to your actual usage.
Edge Sense: the reviews claim that it never works. While the tapping is a bit sketchy, you must simply choose the “slide” option and it works all of the time.
Button placement: The main criticism here is that the thumb cannot reach the power button. Not so, it is perfectly positioned to be depressed with the thumb without undue movement of the hand.
Can’t reach the top to scroll down notifications: simply activate the option to scroll down anywhere on the home screen and you have it, again without movement of the hand.
The 29:1 screen is not practical: Not so. It is a beautiful screen with every app I have used fitting just fine. And the split screen switch is very useful.
Screen brightness insufficient: Not so. I live in Hawaii and work outdoors. It can easily be viewed in the sunlight. And if you want a still brighter screen with 650 NITS, just turn on the Creator Mode.
Can’t be used on Verizon: Not so. It is Verizon Certified and works perfectly.
Simply, this is a fullsized phone with the best flagship hardware and is still a one-handed phone. Not only is it thin at 68mm but the one-handed mode and the edge sense make it a joy to use one-handed.
It sells for $698 which is far cheaper than the rest.
Sony nailed it.

So what is your point here? Do you want iPhone 11Pro have bigger battery? ? Let's see the iPhone 11 Pro Max only get 3969mah with 226gram, are you asking Apple to make the "iPhone 11 Pro Max Ultra" with 5000mah for you so the weight will be around 260gram?
Battery endurance from gsmarena chart
Xperia 3 score 96h
Iphone 11 Pro score 86h
Iphone 11 Pro Max score 102h
Imagine iPhone Pro Max Ultra score....

The Xperia 5 Mark II is going to be exceptional. It's just a shame we waited all this time to put the buttons back in the right place!

Smaller battery & better endurance that the 1... is that because of the smaller screen?

It's a superb phone, look most people buy apple phones because well, most people buy apple phones. It doesn't make a phone like x5 rubbish because not many people buy it... Humans are creatures of habit if everyone buys it then everyone else wants it...... The x5 is a beautiful creation and remember its all down to personal preference at the end of the day....all my home tech is Sony and Sony lasts forever.. Well done Sony.😁
